Other 'minuses' to that 1433 payload are: 4x4, power seats/windows/locks, AC, ETC
Most SUV's end up at to over their GVWR before hooking up the trailer tongue
Best to actually weigh your TV empty and fully loaded ready to go camping, but
without the trailer hooked up
That is the only way to know where you are in reference to your ratings
Ben that statement is absolutely false. Most SUV's do not end up at or over their GVWR before even hooking up the trailer tongue. For example, look at the 2014 Durango. It has a GVWR of 7200 lbs, and when loaded up with my family and all our gear, our curb weight is 5900 lbs..plenty of payload left over.
Also..your statement about power windows, locks, etc is incorrect.
The easiest way to determine payload (regardless of the sticker) is to just load up the SUV with everything (people, gear, etc) and take it to the scales. Your true remaining payload will be your GVWR - scale weight.
